A Great New Opportunity from Blackstone & Cullen and Microsoft!

Introducing Business Value Planning Services (BVPS): Save Money with Software You Already Own!
Microsoft has launched an exciting FREE* initiative to help customers identify, unlock, and capture the business value of Office System solutions called Business Value Planning Services (BVPS). Blackstone & Cullen is proud to announce we a partnering with Microsoft to deliver BVPS engagements.

Check out this new video by Blackstone & Cullen detailing BVPS and Deployment Services.

What are Business Value Planning Services (BVPS)?
The Business Value Planning Services program is a structured, 3 or 5 day engagement led by Blackstone & Cullen to identify and design improvements to an existing business process leveraging Microsoft technology that you already own. Upon completing a Business Value Planning Services engagement, customers receive a current state process analysis, future state process design, an adoption/implementation plan and, in a 5-day engagement, a business case for the proposed solution. And best of all, you can use your Microsoft Software Assurance benefits to have Microsoft pay for the business process improvement engagement!

Why Should I Be Interested in BVPS?
Business Value Planning Services provides customers with a number of significant benefits:
  • Save money in a difficult economic environment
  • Realize a greater return on your technology investments
  • Solve business problems with a familiar technology platform
  • Build a convincing business case for business process improvement
  • Identify and manage roadblocks to change
For example, Revlon, a world leader in cosmetics, found in a 3-day BVPS engagement that they could implement a new Integrated Business Management Process with a live documentation tool to govern their "brand books" and internal portal. The business plan developed during this engagement proposed many solutions to their array of issues ranging from document security and control to managing calendars and tasks during their production process.

How Can I Learn More?
Attend an upcoming BVPS Strategy Briefing Event! Blackstone & Cullen would like to invite you to a 90-minute small-group presentation on the ways in which you can use technology you already own to solve business problems you face every day. The event is targeted towards IT Decision makers, Business Department Managers, and CxOs, and is a great opportunity to learn how other companies have benefited from BVPS engagements. As an added bonus, hear from Larry White and George Miller from Mactec, as they discuss their successful business value planning session conducted with Blackstone & Cullen.

Please RSVP to lindsay.blackstone@bac-atl.com by June 10th to confirm your attendance.
